# ZeeMaps > ZeeMaps is a web-based map-making service for creating interactive maps > from spreadsheet data or crowdsourced input. Upload a CSV or Excel file of > addresses and ZeeMaps geocodes and plots them as map markers or as > highlighted regions — up to thousands of locations per map — or let > community members add locations themselves, with moderator approval. > Maps can be kept private, password-protected, or public; embedded in any > website; exported as images or PDF for print; and managed by multiple > admins with three access levels (viewer, member, admin). Maps are mobile > friendly and work on phones and tablets. A REST API supports programmatic > map creation and updates. ## Pricing (US$, July 2026) - Free trial: 5 maps, ad-supported; maps freeze after 2 weeks or 100 map views without a subscription - Professional: $19.95/month or $199.95/year - Professional Publisher: $34.95/month or $324.95/year - Enterprise: $99.95/month or $999.95/year — higher limits, no ads/branding - Upload increases available as add-ons for bulk imports ## Data sources - Spreadsheet upload: CSV, Microsoft Excel, copy-and-paste, KML, GeoRSS feeds - Cloud spreadsheets with automatic re-import when the file changes: Google Drive / Google Sheets, Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint, Zoho Sheet - Crowdsourcing: viewers submit additions; moderators approve; submissions can be restricted to specific marker groups - Custom fields: add searchable custom fields to map entries - US Census demographic enrichment: supplement your own data with each pin's ZIP-code-area (ZCTA) demographics — population, median income, and other Census fields — and shade regions by those values (choropleth) ## Visualizations & tools - Pins/markers with custom icons, up to 75 color-coded groups, clickable legend - Highlighted regions driven by your data: radius circles, ZIP codes, cities, counties, states, countries, or hand-drawn areas - Choropleth maps (shade pins and regions by data value), heat maps, and spatial data aggregation - Layers: organize data in multiple layers that can be shown or hidden - Filtering: viewers can toggle marker groups on and off via the clickable map legend and filter entries by custom-field values; geo-search entries by field match and distance - Trip planner: multi-point route optimizer — reorder stops to minimize distance or time - Lasso: select pins by drawing a lasso, then change their color or field values, or export the selected locations as a list - Multimedia pins: attach photos, video, or audio to markers - Entry list: clickable, searchable list of entries beside the map - Editing grid: manage and bulk-edit map entries in a spreadsheet-like grid - Overlays: real-time traffic and public-transit overlays ## Common uses - Field-service operations: map service jobs, crews, coverage territories - Healthcare: map patient/caregiver locations with password-protected privacy on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure - Store, dealer, and franchise locators embedded in business websites - Sales-territory and customer mapping from CRM or spreadsheet exports - Community projects: memberships, events, alumni, family reunions — often crowdsourced ## Key pages - [Pricing](https://www.zeemaps.com/pricing) - [Map gallery — examples](https://www.zeemaps.com/gallery) - [API documentation](https://www.zeemaps.com/api) - [Create an account](https://www.zeemaps.com/register) - [Help & how-to guides](https://content.zeemaps.com/mapping/)
